well got it all finished up despite a few set backs. i keep reading about not being able to replace brake lines or bleed the brakes the old way without having the digital tech. from the dealers, but i did just that and have no abs light on and i slammed the brakes on the test ride yesterday and the abs worked just fine. maybe i just got lucky. anyway, here is a few pics of the bike tore down. in the third you can see the difference b/t the old bars and they 18" apes.

Always swap out to the poly bushings on my bikes the first time I have any reason to pull the bars. Did not make a huge difference on my SG since I still have the stock bars (just powder coated black), noticable difference but not huge. When I went to apes on the Dyna the poly bushings were a huge improvement.
